Infrastructure Engineer

Forage • San Francisco, CA

12d • $160,000 - $180,000 • Hybrid

About The Position

As an Infrastructure Engineer, you’ll own the key services and processes that Forage is built on, and will help set the direction for future growth and investments. Beyond cloud services and CI/CD, you’ll contribute to developer experience, our incident response processes, load testing, and other critical functions. Day to day, you’ll spot weak points before they turn into outages, fine-tune databases to keep them fast under load, and put guardrails in place so product engineers can ship quickly.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent professional experience.
• 4+ years of professional software engineering experience, with at least 2+ years focused on infrastructure/DevOps/SRE work.
• Experience with AWS (or another major cloud provider) and infrastructure-as-code tooling (e.g. Terraform, CDK, Pulumi, CloudFormation).
• Practice preparing systems for production use — come with experience implementing monitoring, autoscaling, and security concerns in live services.
• Proven track record of owning complex systems — e.g. containerized deployments using cloud databases.
• Strong, remote-first, communication skills; able to collaborate across engineering and non-engineering stakeholders.
